A further object of the invention is to provide an emhahning fluid which will prevent decay of the body and will further be in expensive.

My embalming fluid consits of a mixture of the following chemicals in the proportions set forth:

3 per cent corrosive bichloride of mercury (HgCI per cent sodium chlorid (NaCl).

4 per cent sodium hydroxid or per cent potassium hydroxid (NaOH or KOH).

1 per cent crystallized thymol (C H OH).

1 per cent crystallized camphor.

5 or 6 drops of bergamo-t oil which is a yellow colored volatile oil, having no known chemical formula.

The above chemicals are thoroughly mixed together in the proportions set forth and will form the embalming fluid which when used will preserve the body of a corpse 'for a very long time and will further cause the retention of the life-like appearance by the corpse. Further my improved embalming fluid will prevent the decay and may be further manufactured at a very low cost.
